Too funny! But all said, if my 2 cents is worth 1, then I'd go see them before I'd go see Ratdog. Aside from Phil & Friends there who to see if you want to hear some wicked Dead.

Way to go Tricky! Looks like you got yourself a great night of music for an even better cause. IN like schwa!

What a shitler! Sorry to hear 'bout your trials. Good luck with your journey ahead. There's endless opportunity in the unknown.

Wow, lots of great suggestions.....lots to look fwd to. The books on "rock stars" was just a blanket statement. Really anything to do with music, music promotion etc. is good by me. For example, I like Bill Graham's book as much as any I've read. I've recently read Neil & Me and thought it was great! Enjoyed both The Band books suggested as well. Searching for the sound was a good read too! I read one on Gordon Lightfoot in university that I think I'll try and find again. I'm going to go through many of these so thanks again for all your suggestions - and keep 'em comin'. I think I'll start with either Woody Guthrie's "Bound for Glory" or "Can't You Hear Me Callin': The Life of Bill Monroe, Father of Bluegrass" by Richard D. Smith. Big Time Stu-Dog, Big Time!!!

Just wondering what suggestions y'all have on biographies about musicians. Any and all other suggestions are appreciated. Does anybody know of any on John Prine or John Hartford? (haven't been able to find any). Thanks!

For sure. I went back to his website to copy a story I had read while I was doing my radio show in St John's a couple years ago. Unfortunately it isn't on there but it goes something like this (don't know if this was in the movie?); He was moving in an old beat up wagon to Texas. On his way he was stopped by 2 police officers (one albino and one mexican). They put him in the back of the cruiser and sat in the front having a discussion between them about what they were going to charge him with. Wondering if he could say something to change their minds he asked them if they had ever heard of the song "Poncho and Lefty". The officers looked at eachother with a grin and said they had. He went on to tell them he had written it but Willie Nelson had made it popular. The officers didn't believe him so he went on and started singing it for them. He finished and they again had a little discussion amongst themselves in the front seat. After which one turned to Townes and told him he was free to go. Being a curious mind he asked them why they had decided to let him go. They told him it was because their code names were Poncho and Lefty. When he asked who was who, the albino said he was Poncho and the Mexican was Lefty. Also, according to his website there's a book about Townes due out in March.

Happy birthday dad!

Sorry Ottawa but sounds like good news for us in SW Ontario!
